You shall pay all fees or charges to your account in accordance with the fees, charges,

must be made in advance unless otherwise mutually agreed upon in an Order Form or

amounts paid are nonrefundable. You are responsible for paying for all User licenses
ordered for the entire License Term, whether or not such User licenses are actively
used. You must provide CARESOFT with valid credit card or approved purchase order
information as a condition to signing up for the Software. An authorized License
Administrator may add licenses by executing an additional written Order Form or

CARESOFT charges and collects in advance for use of the Software. CARESOFT will
automatically renew and bill your credit card or issue an invoice to you each year
or as otherwise mutually agreed upon. The renewal charge will be equal to the then-current
number of total User licenses times the license fee in effect during the prior term,
unless CARESOFT has given you at least 30 days prior written notice of a fee increase,
which shall be effective upon renewal and thereafter. Fees for other Softwares will
be charged on an as-quoted basis. CARESOFT’S fees are exclusive of all taxes, levies,
or duties imposed by taxing authorities, and you shall be responsible for payment
of all such taxes, levies, or duties as applicable to you. You agree to provide

to be eligible to receive an adjustment or credit.

are subject to interest of 1.5% per month on any outstanding balance, or the maximum
permitted by law, whichever is less, plus all expenses of collection. You will continue
to be charged for User licenses during any period of suspension. If you or CARESOFT
initiates termination of this Agreement, you will be obligated to pay the balance
due on your account computed in accordance with the Charges and Payment of Fees
section above. You agree that CARESOFT may charge such unpaid fees to your credit
card or otherwise bill you for such unpaid fees.

party may terminate this Agreement or reduce the number of licenses, effective only
upon the expiration of the then current License Term, by notifying the other party
in writing at least five (5) business days prior to the date of the invoice for
the following term. In the case of free trials, notifications provided through the
Software indicating the remaining number of days in the free trial shall constitute

reason of your breach), CARESOFT will make available to you a file of the Customer
Data within 30 days of termination if you so request at the time of termination.
